Sinusitis or sinus infection is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nasal cavity. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies, and irritants. If your sinuses cannot drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, and headaches and affect your day to day living.

Cosmetic acupuncture, sometimes called facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is the newest weapon in the anti-ageing war. Many celebrities, including Hollywood stars, have tried this treatment and loved it. Some clinical reports have shown positive results. It is a non-invasive, non-surgical, method of reducing fine lines around the eyes, lips, and nose. It can also help to reduce bags from under the eyes and firm chin lines. In most cases cosmetic acupuncture can clear or reduce age spots, lift droopy eyelids, tighten pores, and brighten eyes. Because cosmetic acupuncture can also increase blood circulation and drain away toxins, patients feel younger as well as having a healthy glow and vibrant complexion.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, an asthma attack is the direct result of a deficiency in the lung meridian (channel). Once this lung energy becomes blocked, the chi (vital energy) becomes unstable and triggers an immune system response restricting both inhalation and exhalation.
